Verratti hires super agent Mino Raiola

Paris Saint-Germain star Marco Verratti has joined forces with super agent Mino Raiola, after a disagreement with his former advisor.

The Italy international apologised for comments made by his former agent Donato Di Campli, who stated earlier in July that PSG were holding his client 'prisoner' while Barcelona were keen on signing him.

The 24-year-old has now hired Raiola, who has Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Romelu Lukaku, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Mario Balotelli among his clients.

"I hereby announce that, as of this moment, the only person who is authorised to represent me in all matters related to sport is Mr Mino Raiola," Verratti wrote on Instagram.

"I thank Mr Di Campli for the excellent job done so far and I take the chance to confirm my deep and unchanged faith in his abilities."
